The xx will tour North America this summer, according to invites mailed to fans this week, and as StairwellBaby.com points out. The sneaky announcement mirrors their strategy late last year of mailing out free tickets to a then-unannounced European tour, which is now under way. U.S. destinations revealed so far include Dallas, TX, Portland, ME, and Philadelphia, PA. See a couple of the invites below.
